[MaxPower57]

1. Anchorman
2. Old School
3. Zoolander

 

[Cyclone62]

As hard as I had to fight the urge to say something inappropriate, I suggest Anchorman or Old School. Those are the only two that I really care for.

I forgot about Zoolander. That is a great one too.

 

[sodakjoe]

Good list above, but I'd put them in this order.

1. Anchorman
2. Zoolander
3. Old School

 

[Cycofan1]

1. anchorman
2. Stepbrothers
3. Zoolander

 

[Flag Guy]

SNL Celebrity Jeopardy (oh wait... that collection isn't available :sad
Anchorman

Ehhh whatever

 

[ISUboi12]

anchorman...
wedding crashers...
he was pretty good in starsky and hutch and the ladies man...

 

[cycloneman003]

stepbrothers and anchorman. all else pale in comparison

 

[cyclonemaniac7]

Old School wasn't that good. I personally liked Elf.

 

[ISU_REV]

I liked Elf and Step Brothers

 

[San Francisco Cy]

I would have to say Old School, Anchorman, and Step Brothers. In that order. He also has two SNL dvd's that are pretty solid...

Zoolander? Old School? Wedding Crashers? All great movies, but can you call them Will Farrell movies? He wasn't the main character in a lot of them. He was in Wedding Crashers all of 3 minutes

Anchorman is the only Will Farrell movie that is a must have. Stranger than Fiction was good but I don't own it so I can't say it's a must have. Other than that SNL best of Will Farrell Vol 1 is hilarious and Vol 2 is pretty awful.

IMO Will Farrell has been making terrible movie choices lately and Land of the Lost is a great example of that.

 

[Flag Guy]

Oh yeah I forgot about Stranger than Fiction. That one was more of a serious movie but I did like it, and it provides a nicer contrast to his usual idiotic roles that he plays

 

[ISUKyro]

After Old School I got tired of him. Seems like every roll he plays the same bablying idiot. Don't get me wrong he plays it well, just the same thing over and over get tired.

 

[San Francisco Cy]

Zoolander? Old School? Wedding Crashers? All great movies, but can you call them Will Farrell movies? He wasn't the main character in a lot of them. He was in Wedding Crashers all of 3 minutes

I would say he was a pretty major player in Old School. Wedding Crashers, not so much. Zoolander? Well, man, I just don't know what to say about that. I've seen it a couple of times, but I would put it right up there with Night at the Roxbury as must NOT see Will Ferrell movies...

Maybe you would like Stranger than Fiction. He was pretty serious in that one, and actually did a decent job of it...

I can't believe Taladega Nights hasn't shown up yet in the lists...

Though as someone put it earlier... a lot of his roles tend to be similar (aka Taladga had a lot of the same characteristics of Anchorman in my opinion)

Which is why I think Stranger than Fiction, while a bit of an odd movie, was a decent contrast to his usual movies roles

I tried and tried to like Talladega Nights, but just couldn't. Not sure why I could never get into it. But, I think there's a reason why this one and Blades of Glory did not make the cut...

 

[Clones85']

1. Anchorman
2. Talladega Nights (dinner scene is best of any movie)
3. Elf

Stepbrothers, Blades Of Glory, Stranger than Fiction are honorable mention. Did not like Semi Pro and don't count Zoolander or Wedding Crashers. If I did Wedding Crashers would easily be #1
